4. Architecture of Computer System
Hardware
Operating System (OS)
Programming Language (e.g. PASCAL)
Application Programs (e.g. WORD, EXCEL)

5. Detail Layered View of Computer

6. System Software, Application Software and Driver Programs
System Software- Performs essential operation tasks
Operating system
Utility programs
Application Software - Performs specific tasks for users
Business application
Communications application
Multimedia application
Entertainment and educational software
Driver Programs (Device Driver)
small program that allows a specific input or output device to communicate with the rest of the computer system

7. 3 type of programs user / application programs system programs
programs used by the users to perform a task
system programs
an interface between user and computer
driver programs
communicate I/O devices with computer

10. Operating System
a collection of programs which control the resources of a computer system
written in low-level languages (i.e. machine-dependent)
an interface between the users and the hardware
when the computer is on, OS will first load into the main memory

11. Basic functions of the operating system
Device configuration
Controls peripheral devices connected to the computer
File management
Transfers files between main memory and secondary storage, manages file folders, allocates the secondary storage space, and provides file protection and recovery
Operating
System
Memory management
Allocates the use of random access memory (RAM) to requesting processes
Interface platform
Allows the computer to run other applications

12. Other function of Operating System
best use of the computer resources
provide a background for user’s programs to execute
display and deal with errors when it happens
control the selection and operation of the peripherals
act as a communication link between users
system protection

13. Common Operating Systems and Their Differences
Network Operating System
UNIX / Linux / MS Windows2000 Server
Desktop Operating System
MS Windows 9X/Me / Mac OS / DOS
Mobile Operating System
Palm OS and Pocket PC

14. Examples Common operating systems WINDOW UNIX VAX/VMS
used in IBM compatible microcomputers
UNIX
multi-user, multi-tasking OS used in minicomputers and microcomputers
VAX/VMS
used in DEC’s VAX series of minicomputers

15. DOS interface

16. GUI

17. Different Types of Operating System

18. Disk Operating System (DOS)
a part of operating system to control disk operation
2 parts
small system data
keep track of key information of the disk
data area
where data file is stored

19. SMALL SYSTEM AREA in DOS
3 parts
boot/boot record
i.e. a short program for loading DOS into computer’s memory
file allocation table (FAT)
i.e. record the status of each part of the disk and keep track of all data
root directory
i.e. record the filename, size of the file , date and time

20. Good Operating System efficient small in size reliable
time spent to execute its programs should be short
small in size
memory occupied should be as small as possible
reliable

21. Type of Operating System
Batch processing
Real time processing
Time sharing processing

22. Batch processing
Jobs, together with input data, are fed into the system in a batch.
The jobs are then run one after another.
No job can be started until previous job is completed

23. Real time processing immediate response is needed. For example
anti-missile defense system
airplane landing control system
interrupt error in computer system

24. Time sharing processing
Each user is given a time slice to interact with the CPU.
The size of the time slice will depend on the system.
Each user is served in sequence.

26. Special Features of OS multi-tasking multi-programming
parallel processing
buffering
spooling

27. Multi-tasking
to handle 2 or more programs at the same time from a single user ‘s perception
CPU can only perform one task at a time, however, it runs so fast that 2 or more jobs seem to execute at the same time

28. Multi-programming
2 or more programs store in the main memory at the same time
when one job reeds to wait (e.g. I/O operation), CPU switch to another job to execute
when the first job finishes waiting, CPU will get back the first job to execute

29. Parallel Processing use 2 or more CPUs to handle jobs
computer networking
without multiprocessing

30. Buffering
a temporary storage area (buffers) to read data from input device or send data to the output device
keep CPU busy
because I/O operation is slow

31. Spooling a larger buffer from hard disk
buffer store the data through I/O operation
because I/O operation is slow and CPU operation is fast
